ViewLoader Force Mod

April 28th, 2008


      I've got some quick, and good response to my Hopper Mod vid, so here's a little more detail to how to do it. Pictures are here.

      I used a switch like this one, except it has a longer lever. http://www.weisd.com/store2/PHI30-2501.html

      I mounted the switch on the top piece of the feed tube (inside the hopper). Pic07 and Pic08 are shots of the switch glued into place.

      Pic05 and Pic06 show a cut in the right side of the hopper to make room for the switch.

      Pic03 and Pic04 detail the position and placement of the switch. The top piece of the tube looks all chewed up or shattered, but it's just the see-thru glue I used. I think it's called Amazing Goop.

      Lastly, Pic01 and Pic02 detail the solder points on the white socket. Be sure to remove the jumper/plug from it (missing from picture). Feel free to comment or contact me on my youtube page for questions.

Paintball Madness

April 23rd, 2008

      So I`ve picked up yet another hobby. This time it's paintball. Man, it's so much fun. Best sport ever! Once you get over the initial fear of being hit (cause it hurts, but not as bad as people build it up to be in their heads) it's just fun. So I played for my first time a little over a month ago. I borrowed a friend's gun to see if I'd like it and I ended up buying my own gun later that same day. I got a Spyder Pilot ACS. I dig it. I've even dove into modding, head first. So far so good. Check out what I've done below.

D-Day (Paintball)

April 2nd, 2008

      It's On! So I recently go into paintball and have been researching all that I can about it. I came across a video of a group out of Quebec (who call themselves Voodoo Paintball) that run an impressive D-Day style match. Check it out.

Adventures in Wiimoting

January 16th, 2008

      So, there have been some really amazing things springing up from the web community involving Nintendo's Wii Remote Controllers. The Nintendo Wii Remote (or Wiimote) is a very advanced Human Interface Device (hid) that has some neat features. The controller has multiple accelerometers that can measure force and orientation of the remote. It is also equiped with an infra-red camera that is used for navigation based on points and relations. The controller communicates to console wirelessly via bluetooth, and such is easily able to connect to a PC. People have come up with many cool ideas and applications.
      Here are some advanced methods and applications that have been created.




      I am working on some mostly Johnny Lee's projects, but I plan on making my own GlovePIE scripts soon too....when I get a lot of free time.
